I am converting an auto MY coupe to manual. Is the gearbox cross member the same for both the auto and manual? Does the auto pedal box have the provisions for the clutch cable bracket or do I have to fit a complete manual pedal box?

I'm pretty sure of my answers, can someone confirm either way.

You need the full manual peddle box

On the money there Baron.
The pedal box isn't that hard a swap, it's just 4 bolts (or nuts... I forget)
I'm pretty sure you'll need to change the gearbox / swaybar / radius rod mounting plates with the manual ones too. The manual ones have an extra little bracket with 2 studs to mount the gearbox crossmember further up, although this could be a 4wd manual only thing.
